Nearly six thousand years ago a group of Sekhmet's personal
guards stepped through a portal from Tuat (where the Egyptian Gods reside) to
Earth after their king was killed. Their assignment was simple enough; find the
leader and followers of Set's Legions who committed such a horrible atrocity
and destroy them.

Sekhmet in her wisdom offered her blood to her elite force,
which granted them immortality. Are they vamps? In a sense, but not in the
traditional sense. They do require blood to survive and to keep them bound to
Earth, but they can also walk in daylight, eat and drink normal food, go for
long periods of time without digesting it, mate and have children. They
can also die by being beheaded. Anyway, their purpose remain today what it was
in the beginning. Living near Lake Michigan Sekhmet's guards run a world-wide
protection agency, named Guardians Incorporated, more commonly called GI, where
they protect the rich, the famous and the less fortunate from the Legion or
ills of our modern day world.

YouTubeWhen two hidden worlds collide near modern day Lake Michigan, Jennifer, a young Native American, is confronted with the reality not everything is as it seems and things do go bump in the night. The questions she has long since asked are answered in this epic tale of self discovery when she meets Gabriel; the director of Guardians Incorporated. Born in New Tuat, Netchkhet, now known as Gabriel, came to Earth some five thousand years ago to protect the human race, Disillusioned because of an unfulfilled prophecy, he has become cold and distant - even from those of his kind. Secretly, he waits for his enemy to take his head so he may leave this world for good. Can a tiny Selkie melt his hardened heart and restore his faith in a power far greater than himself? When history repeats itself, can he save her from death's embrace or will they be robbed of a future again?

SNIPPET: ETERNAL LOVERS

“SIT!” the black haired one, demanded.

He sat down in the chair directly next to Bill. He
started to speak, but before he uttered a single word, he was silenced by the
Ancient’s unspoken command.

“Do you know who I am?” The largest of them asked.

“Sire, I can only assume you are one of the seven
Ancients, one of the makers of our race.”

“I am Gabriel, once know as Netchkhet. I am the leader
of the Guardians.”

“Sire, it is an honor.”

“Silence. Do not speak unless you are spoken to. Your
fate and the fate of that…” Gabriel said as he sneered at Bill, “…is
undetermined. Do not try to please me with your whimpering pledges of
admiration.”

It dawned on David that Gabriel’s mouth was not moving
as he spoke. He was interjecting his thoughts directly into his mind.

“The decision has been made. I was content to keep
your little secret quiet for Jennifer’s sake. I even thought about giving her
husband the opportunity to make a choice, Jennifer or you. Not anymore.”

He turned his attention to Bill and spoke aloud. “You
will release all holds on Jennifer. You will never see her again. Everything
you own is now hers. Your house, your money, and your cars… Do you understand?”

Bill’s head nodded as he was still unable to speak.

Gabriel looked back at him and once again interjected
his question directly into his mind.

“Does this mortal mean anything to you? Or is he here
simply for your amusement? Speak your answer aloud so all can hear.”

David wasn’t sure if the Ancients would understand his
feelings towards Bill but he had nothing to lose by telling them the truth.
They would know if he was lying.

“I love him more than my own life. If he would have
me, I would have him as my lifemate.”

“That woman has
stood in the way of my happiness...”

Gabriel growled then slapped him right out of his
chair and sent him flying across the room.

“DO
NOT USE THAT TONE WITH ME EVER AGAIN!That woman as you called her has a name, and
you are not worthy to speak it. Now get your ass back in the chair. I’m not
finished with you.”

He crawled back across the floor and into the chair
without ever standing.

Gabriel pulled out a cell phone and pushed a button to
call someone.

“Are you watching this? Good, tell me what this son of
a bitch’s holdings are.”

“Okay, thanks,” the Ancient said before flipped the
cell phone closed.

“You’re lucky I don’t kill the two of you right here.
Knowing what is in your veins gives me that right.”

He knew exactly what Gabriel was referring to. All
immortals knew their own ancestry. He swallowed hard, hating the fact he was a
descendent of Unab.

“In spite of everything you have done; the pain you
have inflicted on a mere innocent, I will allow you both to live. I do not want
to dirty my hands with your blood, for if I were to kill you, I would be
unworthy of her presence. But I can not let you off scot free. You will make
restitution on behalf of your new lifemate to Jennifer. Do you agree to my
demands?”

David didn’t know what or how much it was going to
cost him but he was willing to pay anything to have a life with Bill. He placed
his right hand over his heart and bowed his head.

“Sire, on the blood of my father, I do so agree.”

The oath was given.

“Good. I have
been informed that you have considerable holdings. You will deposit twenty five
million dollars into a Swiss bank account we set up for her. In addition, you
will deposit five hundred thousand into her personal bank account. For every
year the two of you live, you will continue to make an additional deposit of
the sum of five hundred thousand into her Swiss account. My associates will
send you the information you will need within 24 hours. She will never know
this money comes from you. Neither of you will see her again. Jennifer will
remain under the care and protection of the Guardians for her entire life… Do
you understand me?

With each passing day Jessica’s consciousness grew stronger. For
twenty years she was content to remain as she was—trapped inside another. The
life she led came to an abrupt end the moment she laid eyes on Raphael. At
first she suspected they were destined to be together--his gentle touch
confirmed it. Although he didn’t know it, he ignited waves of a fiery passion
that burned deep into her soul. It became brighter every day, giving her the
strength she needed. Somehow she would find a way to free herself from her
grandmother’s powerful magic.
Since her birth she learned vicariously from observing others of her kind and
until now she was satisfied with the life she led. She had everything one would
need to live a meaningful life without the stress the human world inflicts on
its inhabitants. With each passing day her obsession to be more than she was,
intensified. Jessica knew she was gifted with her race's abilities to
communicate with others but until now she had never used them. They say
practice makes perfect and she was at a point now where she could make her presence
known—at least to him.

Tshering Snow never meant to fall hopelessly in love with her
savior, the Ancient, known as Lance, but she did. He seems to care deeply for
her, spending every available hour with her, but will he be able to give up his
past and settle down with one woman? After all, he has the reputation of a
playboy.
Lance hates the personification he has created around himself. Afraid the
others might not understand why; he has held back the truth from Gabriel and
the other Guardians, he has waited for the right woman, the one Sekhmet
prophesized so long ago. And now he has found her. When he is accused of
fathering a child by both Gabriel and Tshering, how can he make them believe
the child is not his, even if the boy is a spitting imagine of him?
After the women are attacked by Set’s Legions while relaxing on Jennifer’s new
yacht, they come to the unanimous decision; they will train and join the
Guardian forces. But that’s not as easy as it was meant to be. Old fashioned and
hard headed, Gabriel is determined he will not having women fighting in their
war.
When Tshering, Jennifer and Jessica are taken hostage by Set’s Legions all hell
breaks loose on the Guardian’s compound. Lost without their mates, brother
fights brother while they try save their women and put an end to the Legion’s
terror. Will Sekhmet, the goddess they serve, step in and reveal the truth or
will she leave them to find their own solutions to a never ending war as she
has in the past?

Unlike the other three novels in Sekhmet’s Guardians,
this first person, stand-alone historical takes the reader back in time 6,000
years, back to the land of New Tuat and to ancient Egypt. The question, how
could two identical twin brothers turn out so differently are answered by Bagsu
in this epic tale of family, growth, loss, betrayal and brotherhood.
Bagsu, his name alone strikes fear in the Guardian Nation.
What can cause one twin, destined to take his father’s place as a priest turn
evil and lead a crusade to dominate the human race while the other fights to
save mankind?
Finally, secrets are revealed when Bagsu leads us back in time to the land of
New Tuat. Experience first hand what really happened to Bagsu and Gabriel long
before they became immortal, when twin brothers were the best of friends.
